Former Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Hafeez launched a scathing attack on batter Babar Azam for his disappointing knock of 23 runs against India in Champions Trophy on Sunday.
Hafeez even went on to say that India star batter Virat Kohli is the true king and not Babar. He added that Kohli has dominated all around the world while Babar hasn’t given a single player of the match performance against India.
“Babar Azam is not the true king. It is Virat Kohli. Look at his performances. He has dominated all over the world. Get out of your PR machinery. We need a performer,” Hafeez said on the show “Game On Hai”.
“Babar Azam is a good product. You tell me his one player of the match performance against India,” Hafeez added.
The former Pakistan all-rounder also said that Babar is the best product to come out of Pakistan in the last 10 years, adding that the batter hasn’t won Pakistan any match against their arch-rivals.
“Babar Azam, the best Pakistani product that has come in the past 10 years. Tell me his one good performance against India. Babar Azam is not Inzamam-ul-Haq. Inzi bhai used to win matches for Pakistan in difficult conditions. Babar Azam has not won a single match against India to date,” Hafeez said.
“He is playing for the past 10 years and has never become a player of the series in SENA countries. In Australia or England he has never led Pakistan to victory,” Hafeez added.
“We need to show them the mirror. We need to realise that those who we are banking on are not performing and we should move on from them. Give the opportunity to them who are waiting in the system,” Hafeez further added.
